They just can't commit

Gov. Bob Riley says Alabama won't pledge money to build a domed stadium in Birmingham until the city and Jefferson County ante up their shares of the cost. Magic City leaders don't want to allocate their portion until the state and the county agree to come aboard. County commissioners have promised to chip in, but they haven't made it official yet.

As infighting and inaction continue, the dome, still nonexistent, keeps getting more expensive.
